As It Happens: Tuesday Edition

Part One

City News reporter harassed

Iowa pipeline prostitutes​
The subject was crude -- and then it got cruder. Iowa farmer Hughie Tweedy says an agent wanted access to his land for an oil pipeline -- and offered the services of a sex worker as incentive.

Rubber dart nose
A British man sneezes, and dislodges the rubber dart that had been jammed inside his nose for more than forty years.

Part Three
